Portable pies, hand held pies, small little pies that fit into the palm of your hand, are so convenient, cute, lunchbox and portion-friendly .... freezer-friendly too! So convenient to just pop one or two into the oven or microwave for that spur of the moment pangs of hunger .... I seem to be getting a lot of that these days. I've almost totally scrapped the word "diet" from my vocabulary. Can someone remind me again what that blinking word means?

I'd made these for the Culinary Smackdown Battle @ Pretend Chef in the Hand Held Meat Pies Category. The gears in my head have been grinding for the last 2 weeks and finally settled on this, combining the Onion Jam recipe that I'd posted earlier with some very basic breakfast ingredients and packed them all into a mini breakfast pie! Breakfast on the go!

Ping...this is one lovely handheld pie....beautiful...I can imagine how nice this would taste like :) I am greedy when I see something nice. Have added this to my to do list :) Thanks for sharing another wonderful bake :) Oh btw your crust is of even thickness. Well done !

Indonesian In Turkey: Haha! These are really tiny pies altho you can't really tell from the pic. I couldn't even fit a whole egg in it. Would have been ok with a quail's egg tho but I didn't have any then. But don't let the size fool you, they are deceivingly filling. I was stuffed after 2. Bye bye diet.

Pretend Chef: Thanks, Rochelle. Can't wait to see what you're coming up with for the virtual party! You are coming, right?

Where did you get inspiration to make bacon and egg pie? This is my favourite pie. I have only seen it in New Zealand, in Australia I found bacon and cheese pie but not bacon and egg. Only other places I have found this is in my kitchen and now your blog:)

Hey Moe! So nice to have you here! You've always known what's on my mind, why not the other way around? Let me know how they turn out. Enjoy! Hi to Annie!

3Cookies: Haha! Glad you're all excited about this. I've always enjoyed bacon and eggs at any time of the day. So I figured if I could take it with me for days when I can't have them in the comfort of my home ..... Tadaa!

Ping! Congrats on the top 9! I have been trying to work my way through my foodbuzz inbox but seeing your delicious creation on the main page I couldn't help but jump ahead and check it out!! (I feel guilty when I read my mail out of order for some reason...) Anyway! These look great, I love the little spikes on top and the pastry crust!

Hey Kita. Thanks! Haha, no, don't feel guilty, I do the same (shhh). After all, that's a good reason to come up with a good pic now and then. Glad mine caught your attention this time! Does the spiky head remind you of Calvin?
